No, you don’t have to pour buckets of ice and water over your head and no, you don’t have to donate anything. Feeling Nuts is just that… feeling… nuts.
It is a social media campaign to bring awareness to testicular cancer and it is beginning to gain ground online. Celebrities like Hugh Jackman (above), Ricky Gervais, and William Shatner have already participated.
Listen, men are already grabbing their nuts. The point of this movement is to give them a real reason to grab. Early detection is often the best remedy and if this #FeelingNuts movement exposes some unwanted lumps in the process, millions of lives can be saved.

‘To Protect and To Serve’ was once again thrown out the window as overly aggressive police officers demands an ID from a passenger in a car, then breaks his window to tase him when he asked for their supervisor.
HAMMOND, IN — After witnessing a motorist allegedly not wearing a seatbelt, police escalated a violent confrontation to the point of shattering a window to extract a passenger when he claimed not to have an ID.
“Oh my God, he’s pulling me over like I robbed a bank,” recalled Lisa Mahone, the driver and alleged seatbelt violator. “The whole situation was just crazy.”
Ms. Mahone was riding with her boyfriend and 2 children to the hospital to see her mother, who was literally on her deathbed.
“I gave him my license and insurance. I also let him know at the beginning to please hurry up because my mom is about to die,” Ms. Mahone said.
Hammond Police, fishing for more offenses, demanded that her adult passenger, Jamal Jones, produce an identification. Mr. Jones initially declined to provide an identification, but when officers continued to insist, he opened up his backpack to look for one.
That’s when police drew their guns.
Mr. Jones requested a supervisor, and Ms. Mahone dialed 9-1-1 to describe the situation and request the same.
“I am scared. And the man–pulled a gun out. A gun! Why do my kids have to see that,” Mahone told the 9-1-1 operator.
Mr. Jones expressed reluctance to get out of the vehicle due to the officers’ aggressiveness and mentioned that “People are getting shot by the police.”
“You all got a white shirt?” Jones asked, referring to the supervisor the family had been requesting. The officer responded, “Look at my shoulder, dumbass. I got bars.”
“You’re going to come out of the car one way or another,” the officer menaced. “You want your kids to see you come out through the window?”
Shortly thereafter, the HPD officers rammed a metal object through the passenger window and began to jolt Mr. Jones with a taser. Jones was yanked from of the vehicle, and Ms. Mahone and her children were showered in shards of broken glass.
Day after day, Republicans tun in by the millions to hear the things Rush Limbaugh say. Not only to hear the things he say, but also to memorize the list of new talking points from their leader with the golden mic.
On Monday, said leader with the golden mic went on a rant, stating, without facts of course, that president Obama is allowing Americans to be infected with the Ebola virus as a payback for slavery.
I know, I know, just when you think a couldn’t get any crazier, this will be the new talking point from the Republican party.
While speaking with one of the unfortunate callers on his nationally syndicated talk show, ‘the Limbaugh’ said that there are liberals who believe that America is responsible for the spread of Ebola in Liberia because that nation was established by freed American slaves.
“And if it hadn’t been for that they probably wouldn’t have [Ebola]. So there are some people who think we kind of deserve a little bit of this,” he said, before accusing elected leaders of purposely leaving the country vulnerable to the virus.
“The danger we have now is that we elected people in positions of power and authority who think this or think like this in terms of this country being responsible, this country being to blame for things and it’s that kind of thinking that leads to opposition to shutting down airports from various countries,” Limbaugh explained, referring to the Obama administration’s handling of the crisis.
“It leads to opposition to keeping these people out of the country: ‘How dare we? We can’t turn our back on them! They exist because of us. We can’t turn them away!’”
Scott Brown is just another Republican in the long list of Republicans going back on their former positions to win an election.
In a debate on Monday, the former Massachusetts senator said that he always supported a woman’s choice and access to contraception. This is a new position of course, because Scott Brown is one of the co-sponsors of a legislation that blocks women’s access to the same thing he now says he always supported.
“To think that I don’t support women’s rights and ability to get contraception is just a false premise,” Brown said during the debate against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “I have since I was 18 years old.”
Talking Points Memo points out that the legislation Scott Walker previously sponsored, gave employers the right to take away contraception access from employees based on that employer’s belief.
But that was then and this is now. And according to Scott Walker’s new position, that legislation he recently co-sponsored happened before he turned 18.
Chief U.S. District Judge Catherine D. Perry who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, dropped a bomb on the Ferguson Police Department today, informing the group that they have violated the constitutional rights of the people of Ferguson MO, and she especially focused on the order by police for the protesters to “keep moving.“
“The evidence from plaintiff’s witnesses shows that the police, including those from St. Louis County, told many people who were either peacefully assembling or simply standing on their own that they would be arrested if they did not keep moving,” wrote Perry, who sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. “Some law enforcement officers told people that they could stand still for no more than five seconds. Others gave instructions that people were walking too slowly, or that they could not walk back and forth in a small area. Some law enforcement officers did not make people keep moving, others did. Some officers applied the strategy to reporters, others did not. Many officers told people who were standing in small groups on the sidewalks during the daytime hours that they would be arrested if they did not keep moving.”
Perry ruled that individuals who wished to gather “in the wake of Michael Brown’s tragic death have a constitutional right to do so.” She also noted that “they do not have the right to endanger lives of police officers or other citizens.” She said that nothing in her order restricted the ability of police officers to do their jobs.
Maybe the voters in Kentucky are smarter than we thought. They kept voting for Mitch McConnell election after election, sending him back to Congress even when it was clear the Republican did nothing for the state. So maybe in this cycle these voters were just pulling our legs all along. According to a new poll, these voters now favor Alison Grimes.
We can all exhale, although, briefly!
After two polls in his favor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has slipped behind Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes in his re-election bid, according to the latest Bluegrass Poll.
Grimes, Kentucky’s secretary of state, now leads the five-term senator 46 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, the survey found. Libertarian candidate David Patterson had 3 percent support in the poll, while 7 percent of likely voters said they were undecided.
While Grimes’ advantage is within the poll’s margin of error, it represents a 6-point swing to the Democrat since the survey was last conducted in late August.
Proud of taking American jobs and outsourcing them to other countries. This Republican Senate candidate is only saying out loud what that the rest of the Republican Party say in secret.
U.S. Senate candidate David Perdue said Monday he is proud of outsourcing he has done in his career as a corporate executive, pushing blame for lost jobs back on Washington.
Perdue, a former CEO for Dollar General and Republican nominee to replace retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss, was stung by his own words last week in an article on Politico.com. The Washington political news website quoted Perdue from a 2005 deposition where he said he “spent most of my career” outsourcing.
“Defend it? I’m proud of it,” he said in a press stop at The White House restaurant in Buckhead. “This is a part of American business, part of any business. Outsourcing is the procurement of products and services to help your business run. People do that all day.”
Some people just can’t take a joke, especially when they are armed with a gun.
A Clay County man was arrested early Saturday on manslaughter charges after allegedly shooting a woman to death after she jokingly slapped him across the face.
Elliott William Orsborn, 26, is accused of shooting Jamie Lee Martin, 26, in the head after a night of friendly drinking at Martin’s home at 2041 Ashton Street in Middleburg, according to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
Witnesses told authorities Martin, Orsborn and several other friends had been hanging out in the garage throughout the night while Martin’s two children slept in the house, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Orsborn had flashed his silver .22 revolver with electrical tape wrapped around the handle several times and kept playing around with it.
The gun wasn’t loaded earlier in the night because Orsborn took all the bullets out, the Sheriff’s Office said.
As the night went on and the group drank more, Martin and Orsborn were sitting at a table talking when Martin said something Orsborn didn’t like. Witnesses said Gavin Lamberth, Martin’s boyfriend of about 5 months who lives with her and her children, told Orsborn to “just chill.”
Then, Martin “jokingly slapped the defendant across the face.”
Witnesses told authorities Orsborn pulled his gun out of his shorts pocket, pointed it at Martin’s forehead and shot her, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Orsborn immediately told witnesses he didn’t mean to shoot Martin, and Martin’s boyfriend and friend started “freaking out.” He stayed at the house for a few minutes and tried to help Martin but then ran from the house.
Orsborn was arrested at his home and told authorities he didn’t wish to speak until talking with an attorney. He was taken to the Clay County Jail, where he awaits his first court appearance Sunday. His bond had not been set as of Saturday evening.
Where else would Donald Trump get a microphone and a camera to offer his expertise on Ebola? Fox News of course.
Trump put his Ebola certification to good use on Monday morning by totally disregarding everything the pretending experts at the CDC had to say about the ebola disease and how it is caught. He especially had issue with Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, questioning the doctor’s suggestion that ebola is not easily spread.
“I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump said, before going off on his theory that ebola might be more contagious than the CDC is letting on. “It’s interesting, I watch all the time where this gentleman from CDC is saying you don’t catch it, you can’t catch it, it’s almost like impossible to catch. Yet an NBC photographer goes over there and gets ebola. I’m trying to find out how did he get it? What did he do to get it? I can’t imagine he was touching lots of folks. That’s what he was over there for. So that’s going to be an interesting one. How did this gentleman catch ebola?”
And the viewers of Fox News walk away, nodding their head in agreement, thankful that Dr. Donald Trump is there to save the day. Who needs the CDC anyway?
The Vice President spoke to the leader of the Turkish people on Saturday and apologized for comments he made on Thursday, the White House said.
In a speech on Thursday, the Vice President of the United States said that the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has conceded that Turkey mistakenly helped foreign fighters trying to unseat the Syrian government, foreign fighters like ISIS. Needless to say, the statement did not go over well with the Turks, prompting President Erdogan to say that Biden would become “history to me.”
According to the White House, the Vice President apologized “for any implication” that Turkey or other allies had intentionally supplied or helped in the growth of the Islamic State group or other extremists groups in Syria.
In yet another online video, another ISIS beheading is seen. Alan Henning, the British citizen held captive by the Islamic group was murdered over the weekend, the fourth of such gruesome display, done by ISIS in the name of Islam.
In the video, the masked killer with the now familiar British accent and common mannerism spoke about the recent bombings in Iraq and Syria, and warned President Obama that the murders will continue as the bombings continue.
“Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment of Sham (Syria), which keeps on striking our people, so it is only right that we continue to strike the necks of your people,” the masked militant in the video said.
In a statement, the British Foreign Officer said that they are working to verify the beheading, and are offering all support to Alan Henning’s family.
“If true, this is a further disgusting murder,” the officer’s statement said. “We are offering the family every support possible; they ask to be left alone at this time.”
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Henning’s apparent slaying showed “how barbaric and repulsive these terrorists are.”
“Alan had gone to Syria to help get aid to people of all faiths in their hour of need,” Cameron said in a statement. “The fact that he was taken hostage when trying to help others and now murdered demonstrates that there are no limits to the depravity of these … terrorists.
“We will do all we can to hunt down these murderers and bring them to justice.”
The doctor who was infected with Ebola while working in Africa but cleared of the disease after being successfully treated here in the US, is now back in the hospital with a respiratory infection.
Doctors at UMass Memorial Medical Center said in a statement that Dr. Richard Sacra was hospitalized Saturday for observation and is in stable condition with a cough and conjunctivitis, commonly known as pinkeye.
The hospital stressed that doctors don’t believe the virus has recurred. They are awaiting test results from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmation, which they expect to have by late Monday.
Meanwhile, Sacra is in isolation at the hospital.
“We are isolating Dr. Sacra to be cautious pending final confirmation of his illness,” said Dr. Robert Finberg, who is heading Sacra’s medical team. “We think it is highly unlikely that he has Ebola. We suspect he has an upper respiratory tract infection.”
